Prisma has always made the effort to be an environmentally friendly commercial print company. Environmental conservation is emphasized in all steps of our manufacturing process and extends to other aspects of our business.
In the Spring of 2007, Prisma became the first sheetfed and web shop in Arizona to gain FSC Certification. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.
In addition to the prestigious FSC Certification, our conservation efforts can be best segmented and quantified in three distinct areas: Recycling, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability.
Usually, we aren’t ones to brag about our company’s accomplishments but even we are impressed by the numbers.
